Taylor Swift is thrilled for Viola Davis reaching EGOT status.
Davis took home the award for best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording at the 2023 Grammy Awards for her memoir Finding Me on Sunday (Feb. 5), making her now the recipient of four major award honors: an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. She was honored during the Grammy Premiere Ceremony before the primetime Grammy Awards telecast.
“EGOT BABYYYYYYY,” Swift — who was later revealed to be a 2023 Grammy winner herself, for best music video for “All Too Well: The Short Film” — tweeted in reaction to the news about Davis. She added a trio of double-heart emojis to her message for good measure.
